Darfur JEM and Kordofan KAD agree to conjugate efforts vs Khartoum

January 1, 2008 (LONDON) — Darfur rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and a Kordofanese political group, Kordofan Association Movement (KAD) agreed to put together their efforts to topple the Sudanese government.

In a joint statement released today the two movement said they agreed to “unify their military activities as of now and at all levels.” They also called on the other opposition movements to join them in order to form a government in exile.

“JEM and KAD thus invites all movements of the marginalised areas and national activists to come together and form a National Redemption Government of Sudan in exile with the objective of filling up any political vacuum in the country.”

KAD is a kodofanese movement formed in Belgium in April 2006 to plaid for the rights of development of this central Sudan province which lies between Darfur on the west and the valley of the White Nile River on the east.

Since its inception KAD adopted a supportive position to “all liberation and freedom movements in Sudan.”

During 2007, the Sudanese government quickly quelled a nascent rebel group and killed its leader in Kordofan called Shahama Movement. JEM was accused of backing the group.

The two groups said they are willing to coordinate with “all political movements and independent national personalities in the Sudan and abroad and who believe in fair division of wealth and power in the country. ”

    For these reasons, NIF goverment in Khartoum finally got a prison for POWs [JEM Fighters], opposition leaders like Hassanein publicly supporting ICC in daylight in the heart of Khartoum, Division of Wealth and Power sharing to name just few amongst thousands of the CPA benefits, I call on JEM and KAD to rally behind SPLM the only force that stood up for the marginalised people of Sudan for the last 24 years.

    Dawud Belad was one of the NIF top leaders and he did join SPLM/A proudly and I don’t see a genuine reason why Khalil Ibrahim failed to do so and instead feel joining SPLM may bring shame to him.

    If religion, regionalism and ethnicity are the reasons for JEM and KAD leaders about SPLM then the two movements have got Mount Everest to climb. Think of the SPLM Vision before calling or inviting other political forces to join your government in exile. Also, think of joining other political forces as well because a choice made out of several options would bring more positive outcomes.
